Hi Susan,
   Could you consider this fiche to be accompanying material?  How do you access the map itself? Is it a downloadable dataset?

There is a record in OCLC (#50054160) for the microfiche that gives the details of a map. When I look at the fiche, there's text including the coding scheme for the polygon attributes but there's no map on the fiche itself. Would you consider this a map or just text?
